Jupiter, Florida sits at the crossroads of the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, offering anglers a dynamic mix of inshore and nearshore fishing opportunities throughout the year.
Weekly Catches
The catches below cover the last 7 days.
Tarpon
The mullet migration is underway, drawing large numbers of tarpon into the Jupiter area. These fish are actively ambushing bait schools along the beaches, in channels, and throughout the Intracoastal Waterway. Anglers have found success free-lining live bait around bait schools and near structure.
- Hotspots: Beaches, channels, and Intracoastal Waterway
- Effective baits: Live mullet, free-lined near bait schools and structure
Snook
Snook are abundant along sea walls and mangrove shorelines in Jupiter. These fish are actively feeding, often seen crashing into bait schools. Both sides of the tide have produced strikes, even during periods of super high tides. Productive lures include the Rapala Skitter V and DOA Bait Buster.
- Hotspots: Sea walls, mangrove shorelines
- Effective lures: Rapala Skitter V, DOA Bait Buster
- Best timing: Both incoming and outgoing tides
Jack Crevalle
Schools of jack crevalle ranging from 1 to 40 pounds have been especially active this week, aggressively crashing bait schools throughout the area. These fish are providing fast action for anglers targeting surface-feeding predators.
- Hotspots: Areas with visible bait schools
- Size range: 1–40 pounds
Bluefish, Ladyfish, and Sharks
Mixed in with the jacks, anglers are also encountering bluefish, ladyfish, and a variety of sharks in the same bait-rich zones. These species are taking advantage of the seasonal abundance of forage and are being caught on similar presentations.
- Hotspots: Near bait schools inshore and along the beaches
Weather & Marine Conditions
September weather in Jupiter has followed a typical summer pattern, with frequent rain and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoons. Lightning activity has been notable, so anglers should monitor conditions closely and plan trips around storm windows. Water temperatures remain warm, and the influx of mullet has triggered increased predator activity.
Tides & Solunar Activity
Super high tides have been observed recently, but both incoming and outgoing tides are producing good fishing opportunities for snook and other inshore species. The presence of bait schools during these tidal swings is key to finding active fish.
Fishing Conditions & Tips
With the mullet migration in full swing, targeting areas where bait is concentrated is the most reliable strategy. Free-lining live mullet or casting lures that mimic baitfish near schools and structure is highly effective for tarpon, snook, and jacks. Anglers are advised to fish both sides of the tide and to be prepared for sudden weather changes, especially afternoon thunderstorms.
Regulations & Notices
Jupiter falls within Palm Beach County, where Florida’s net fishing regulations are in effect to protect local fisheries and sea turtles. Gill net use is heavily restricted, with possession and usage limits enforced in state waters. Anglers should ensure compliance with all gear and species regulations, especially regarding net types and seasonal closures for certain species.
